Urgent inquiry - Immigration case in Myanmar

In Myanmar
Last Updated: Feb 10, 2026
Dear Lawyer,
I am contacting you to inquire whether you could represent an urgent immigration case in Myanmar.
The situation is as follows: a person of Equatoral Guinea nationality is currently detained in myanmar, probably in yagon,on charges of illegal entry into the territory. They have received a sentence of 1 year imprisonment and the deadline to file an appeal ends on February 20th, so time is very limited.
We are seeking legal assistance to explore two possibilities: requesting bail and negotiating voluntary deportation as an alternative to serving the sentence. We believe that deportation would achieve the same objective pursued by the law without the need for imprisonment.
I would like to know if you handle this type of case and if you would be available to represent the detainee. If so, I would be willing to provide you with all the details of the case, the necessary documentation, and discuss legal fees.
Given the urgency of the deadline, I would greatly appreciate your prompt response so we can proceed with the necessary procedures.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
[name removed], family memeber

Thank you for reaching out with such urgency. I do handle immigration and criminal-defense matters involving foreign nationals detained abroad, and I would be able to take on the appeal for the Equatorial Guinea citizen in Yangon. My approach would focus first on filing a timely appeal before the February 20 deadline, then pursuing bail and a negotiated voluntary deportation as a practical alternative to serving the custodial sentence. To move forward quickly, please send me the detention order, any court filings, the detainee’s passport copy, and any correspondence you have received from the Myanmar authorities. Once I have those documents I can assess the strongest arguments for bail, prepare the appeal brief, and open negotiations with the relevant officials.

I am available to begin work immediately and can coordinate with local counsel in Yangon to ensure on-the-ground actions are taken promptly. After reviewing the case details I will provide a clear outline of the steps involved, an estimate of fees, and a timeline for each milestone. Please forward the materials at your earliest convenience, and feel free to let me know the best way to discuss any confidential information (encrypted email, secure file-share, etc.). I look forward to assisting you and the detainee in securing the most favorable resolution.

Sincerely,
Ascendance International Organization
